Decoding Process: cmVzdGF1cmFudHM= to restaurants

About the '=' Padding

The '=' at the end of "cmVzdGF1cmFudHM=" is padding. Base64 encoding requires the input length to be divisible by 4. When it's not, '=' characters are added as padding. These padding characters are represented as '000000' in binary but are not used in the final decoded output.

Step 1: Map Base64 Characters to Binary

Base64 Character	Binary Value	Decimal Value
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
V	010101	21
z	110011	51
d	011101	29
G	000110	6
F	000101	5
1	110101	53
c	011100	28
m	100110	38
F	000101	5
u	101110	46
d	011101	29
H	000111	7
M	001100	12
=	padding (000000)	-

Step 2: Group Bits into Bytes

The binary string is grouped into 8-bit chunks (1 byte each):

01110010 01100101 01110011 01110100 01100001 01110101 01110010 01100001 01101110 01110100 01110011 00

Step 3: Convert Binary to ASCII

Binary Value	ASCII Character
01110010	r
01100101	e
01110011	s
01110100	t
01100001	a
01110101	u
01110010	r
01100001	a
01101110	n
01110100	t
01110011	s
00

When combined, these characters form the decoded string: "restaurants"
